Fire the cannon to demonstrate!
After the order was given, the ships began to adjust their formation. The muzzles were raised and loaded with silk ammunition.
Since it was a demonstration, it would not be loaded with bullets. It would be fine as long as it was heard.
"Marshal, I'm afraid that's not good, right? This cannon is too powerful. If it accidentally hurts civilians…"
On the deck of the Heaven and Earth, Song Ziwen watched as the giant ship slowly moved horizontally. The turrets of the four dual-mounted 510mm cannons began to rotate, and his face instantly turned pale with fear.
One must know that the main cannon of the Tianhe-class battleship had a caliber of 510mm, and a shell weighed 1.65 tons. If it hit the Donghai Urban area, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jiang Yun 'an was amused by Song Ziwen. Just as he was about to explain, Sa Zhenbing opened his mouth and said with a smile,"Hahaha, Little Song! The main shell of the battleship was separated from the gunpowder. The cannon was not loaded with a warhead, so don't worry!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun 'an and the generals could not help but laugh.
What? Not loaded with bullets?
Song Ziwen was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He wished he could find a crack in the oak floor and hide in it.
Jiang Yun 'an raised his hand to signal everyone not to laugh and explained softly,"Department Head Song, the shells for the main guns of warships are very expensive. For example, the armor-piercing shells for the main guns of the Tianhe-level battleships are made of high-performance alloys, and 90% of them are made of high-performance alloys. The cost of one shell is as high as 27,000 gold coins.”
"The firing of the cannon is a demonstration to the western powers, a declaration to the 400 million people that we have our own ships and cannons, and that we will no longer be invaded and humiliated by the foreign races!”
At this point, Jiang Yun 'an looked at the East China Sea that was just a short distance away.
Even though he was almost two kilometers away, he could feel how excited his compatriots were.
"Since the outbreak of the first Opium War, during the dark period of nearly a hundred years, the floral race has not only lost their dignity, but also their national confidence that has lasted for thousands of years!”
"I want to pass on a message to the people of the country. Dignity is only on the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon!”
As soon as these domineering and powerful words were spoken, the general of the Feng army seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. His eyes were red and he was filled with fighting spirit.
Sa Zhenbing and Song Ziwen looked at the domineering and cold Jiang Yun 'an. Their blood boiled instantly and they clapped hard.
Dignity was only on the edge of the sword, and truth was only within the range of the cannon!
Well said. The big fist was the absolute truth. Everything else was empty talk.
……
At the port.
An elite division of the national army cordoned off the pier and surrounded an area. Chang Kaishen, Tan Yankai, He Yingqin, Tang Shengzhi, Kong Xiangxi, Zhu Peide, and other high-ranking military officials, as well as celebrities from the upper class of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and their families were all dressed up to welcome Jiang Yun 'an's arrival.
Jiang Yun 'an had decided to fire the cannon at the last minute and did not have time to inform Chang Kaishen!
The Pacific Fleet suddenly stopped moving forward. Dozens of battleships, heavy cruisers, and destroyer changed their formation. The hull of the ship was horizontal, and the muzzles were raised 45 degrees. The military officials led by Chang Kaishen and hundreds of thousands of onlookers were dumbfounded.
Jiang Yun 'an wanted to attack Donghai?
Impossible!
Wearing a black cheongsam and a black woolen coat, Mrs. Song, who had exquisite makeup, asked curiously,"Darling, what is Jiang Yun 'an trying to do?”
Chang Kai was at a loss because he did not know either.
"He probably wants to show off!"
"Demonstrating to us?"
Chang Kaishen shook his head and smiled bitterly." No, to be honest, we are not worthy of Jiang Yun 'an's demonstration. He is demonstrating to the Western powers.”
“……”
Madam Song smiled and said in a low voice,"Darling, you don't have to laugh at yourself. As long as our plan is successfully completed, the Feng lineage will be yours.”
"I hope so!"
Chang Kai looked at the fleet on the surface of the sea with a complicated expression. It was even more powerful than the fleet of the western powers. A few flames of passion flashed in his heart.
If only it was mine!
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud, dull sound, as if thunder had struck the ground, scaring the onlookers on the shore.
The main cannon of the largest battleship on the sea was pointed at the sky. The flames spewed out of the muzzle were more than ten meters long. It was a spectacular scene.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon after, the other warships also opened fire.
The cannons fired in unison, shaking the heavens and earth!
This shocking scene that was filled with visual impact stunned the hundreds of thousands of spectators.
Because 99.9% of the people had only heard of how powerful battleships were, but had never seen a battleship firing.
Now that he had seen it up close, he knew how terrifying this national weapon was!
Those who didn't understand the power of the battleship's main cannon could feel that the power of this shot was absolutely earth-shattering.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of the cannon was like a giant hammer that weighed ten thousand pounds, hitting the hearts of the onlookers.
The gardener was extremely excited. He waved the Black Dragon Flag with tears streaming down his face!
The Westerners, Fusang people, turned pale. They looked at the steel ships on the sea in a daze and their minds collapsed.
Not long ago, the poor and backward country that even had to import matchsticks and nails actually had the world's largest super-warship with the largest main cannon caliber!
In fact, the reason why Westerners had a mental breakdown was very simple. They had always thought that the Feng family was the Feng family, and planting flowers was planting flowers. They were two completely different countries.
This was also Jiang Xiong's brilliance. From the beginning to the end, he had been creating an illusion.
I am the emperor of the northeast. No one is allowed to provoke me. I will not enter the pass. Don't worry.
It wasn't that Jiang Xiong wanted to be the emperor of the Northeast. He wanted to unify the country and plant flowers more than anyone else so that the 400 million people could live a good life.
But reality did not allow it!
If Jiang Xiong chose to enter the pass and plant flowers before his strength had grown to the point where he could contend with the western powers, he would definitely be defeated and die.
Because the population was too large, and there was a mix of good and bad, the warlords were all backed by Western powers.
Would the western powers allow Hua Zhong to unify and tolerate Hua Zhong's rise?
The answer was impossible!
Therefore, Jiang Xiong stayed in the northeast to develop himself. He worked hard, developed the industry, perfected the education system, cultivated talents, and quietly increased the population and accumulated strength.
Over time, Westerners generally believed that the Feng clan and the gardeners were two different countries. After all, the gardeners in the Feng clan's territory were rich, while the gardeners in the pass were poor.
When Jiang Yun 'an announced that the Northeast Navy would be renamed the Flower Navy and that they would visit Jinling, the whole world was shocked to find out that the Feng family and the Flower Navy were one and the same!
The economic crisis that engulfed the western capitalist countries had erupted. None of the old western countries that could contain the system were spared. They suffered a heavy blow that could not recover in a short period of time.
The polar bear Fusang was crippled by Jiang Yun 'an again!
At this time, who could stop Jiang Yun 'an from entering the pass and planting flowers?
